Hailey brings four-year-old Cody to a gathering where Damon Mercer appears and guests immediately ask if Cody is his son. Hailey deflects, calling Cody her nephew and saying his parents abandoned him, while Damon awkwardly sidesteps questions about their past and whether he still likes her. Later at a car lot Hailey uses a card to buy a discounted car and admits to Cody, "I lied today." Cody reveals he recognizes Damon from a photo and says, "He is your dad." Hailey keeps Damon unaware while Cody knows, leaving the secret unresolved.
